That Da Da Strain

Have you heard it, have you heard
it,That Da Da Strain?It will shake you, it will make
youReally go insane.Everybody's full of pep,Makes you watch your every step.Every prancer, every dancer,Starts to lay 'em down,Everybody when they hear itStarts to buzzing 'round;I get crazy as a loon,When everybody hums this tune:

Ethel Waters starred in both the stage and film version
of Cabin
in the Sky. The movie also starred Lena Horne and Eddie "Rochester"
Anderson. Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington had minor roles. Waters commented
in her remarkable autobiography, His
Eye is on the Sparrow, that she didn't enjoy making the movie --
too much behind-the-scenes back-biting.
